Instructions

Prepare an 8-inch square baking dish by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and cocoa powder until well mixed to avoid lumps.
Add the evaporated milk and butter to the dry mixture. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a gentle boil, then let it bubble for about five minutes.
Remove from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts if desired.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Allow to cool at room temperature for about two hours or until set.
Cut into squares and enjoy!
